Mission

Our goal is to provide simple, accessible resources that help young storytellers explore and deepen their understanding of theater. Through short, engaging lessons, we aim to educate aspiring artists about the many roles within the industry—both onstage and behind the scenes. These mini-lessons will cover acting and technical techniques, industry tips, and creative insights to support their growth.

We also hope to create a platform for those who may not have the means to afford full theater classes, offering them an opportunity to begin their journey into the arts. In addition, users will be able to discover local theaters, explore educational opportunities, and access information about organizations that provide scholarships for those eager to learn more.

By making these resources available, we strive to open doors for the next generation of performers, creators, and storytellers—ensuring that passion, not price, determines access to the world of theater.

Founder - Aya Hanai

Hi, I’m Aya—a junior at Legacy Magnet Academy with a passion for the arts, athletics, and discovering new places! From a young age, I’ve loved acting and the magic of storytelling. I believe theater holds a unique power to teach meaningful life lessons, spark empathy, and bring people together through shared emotional experiences.

Over the years, as I’ve studied and worked in theater, I’ve become more aware of the barriers many face when trying to access the arts. Whether it’s the high cost of classes or the price of attending performances, these financial hurdles can prevent young people from exploring their interests or even experiencing the joy of live theater at all.

That’s why I created this program—to help make the arts more accessible and inclusive. My goal is to inspire and support the next generation of performers and storytellers, especially those who may not have had the chance otherwise. Everyone deserves the opportunity to explore their creative potential, and I hope this initiative helps open doors for others the way theater has for me.
